What an awesome video. I broke my ankle on 11/04/2018 and am recovering now. My surgery was 11/15/2018. At point 1:29...this is exactly what my doctor told me I broke and that I would need a metal plate and two screws. I am still in minimal pain, thanks to Norco 10. I go back tomorrow for my two week follow-up. I have a splint on now, but hoping I am given an aircast tomorrow. Wish me luck!
Had my surgery 3 weeks ago and looks like I also had the same surgery you had. How are you doing now since I see it’s been almost four years since you had your surgery. Thanks
Dear Dr. Ebraheim, I’ve never given you credit where credit is due. I thank you so much for saving my foot and the repair you did for me as a teenager. I’m almost 40 now and I still lift weights, run, yoga, Peloton Cycle, swim and live a drug and smoke free life. However, my age is catching up with me and this ankle fusion and old injury is aging too. I made an appointment with you a while ago and cancelled out of fear. I have days where my ankle swells back to the size of the old injury and the pain can be unbearable but I keep going. I also experience extreme “popping” in the middle of the ankle that is so painful it brings me to my knees but I keep going. Not sure what to do or if anything. I guess time will tell.
Short, clear, exact, simple and very educational and helpful! As Albert Einstein said if u cant explain it simple you do not understand it well! Thank you doc for these great videos!
Recently got 3 fractures and a dislocated ankle. Had surgery with plates and screws and was sent home with a boot. Looking for more info and found this one. Very helpful!! Thank you!!
I broke my ankle 2015 the first worst six months of my life had a walker had kruches had learn how walk up and down steps lived up stairs looked at u tube figure out how go up and down steps, Thanks u tube save me from falling down the steps. I was in physical therapy then I had a cane when I started feeling better to help me walk better.Almost forgot had to have surgery after I broke it. Hope never ever go threw that again!😙
Just had surgery for a trimmel fracture. 2 weeks post surgery. Very painful trying to put pressure on it with an air boot which is what my physio says I must do. Be prepared as I've never experienced pain like it 😭
Thank you, I've broken my ankle a week ago and got a bimalleolar fracture and was wondering how they have "fixed" it with the operation by putting in a plate and screws. I didn't expect it to be this bad - but now I know how it looks like. - now it a 6 week long wait upon the first part of the recovery.
@@daktarioskarvannederhosen2568 okay what makes you think that? I am studying this shit at an university and sometimes the people on the internet explain the things better than my proffessors
@@Magicvaeri oh ok, fair enough; i was just surprised by it. btw, the way i got onto this video is from my having suffered a very bad bimolleolar fracture of right ankle with tendons torn off bones and a high up fracture of fibula in 2007. the job was not particularly well done, in my case, in my opinion.
It's Outstanding explanation Doctor, thank you, I did my surgery exactly the same on your video Doctor. Great lesson, show and easy to understand Doctor Thank you once again 🙏🙏🙏
@khancross need therapy stretch the achilles tendon use a towel around the tendon to stretch the achilles tendon and to achieve more dorsiflextion do it for about 6 weeks good luck keep me informed thanks,and check my other videos and spread the word
You know what I broke my Talus, and my Fabula both at the same time-apperently. I say apperntly because I managed to do this double break with out feeling a thing. How I found out is I tripped over a curb and it wasn't healing. X-ray later, I was told the bones had already well healed, though not set straight you can actually see where my Talus is defected. Only time it was sore was after driving 2,000+ mi. Only time I could see breaking it is when I 250 tipped over on me, but my anke didnt hurt
I had Fibular fracture last year. My orthopedician never suggested for surgery. In fact it was treated without any plaster cast. Only medical bandage and wooden planks were used for support. What do suggest? It pains if I walk too much. Its been a year.
if you've fractured something on the medial side is there any swelling? and is it a fracture if the pain dies down later? I'm not sure about it but I think I just hurt my ankle after snowboarding
I fractured a tiny bone in my ankle and torn ligaments. I'm in a support boot at the moment. i see the fracture clinic in 3 days. I hope no operation because I need to recover fast but I was told by doctor's it take months to heal. all I did was fall down stairs. I thought it was only a sprain but next day I was in agony so I had to go to the emergency room for x-ray.
Very good video. Very helpful. I broke my ankle on December 24th 2011. It is a bimalleolar fracture that didn't require surgery. I am still in a cast that is due to come off February 1st. Will I get some sort of air boot or will it be left as is when it comes out of the cast? And how long before I can walk properly? Thanks Dr.
Im 34 years old and just broke my medial malleolus ankle bone. I’m gonna do surgery in 2 days I’m hella nervous about this and hope everything will be ok. Never had surgery before, I hope I’ll be able to recover smoothly.
@@willwiner2832 thanks buddy how was your recovery? How long did it take for you to be able to walk and apply weight on the leg? I’m about a week out now and feel ok. Hate being out to sleep paranoid.
@@thenewage9723 im still currently on crutches, non weight bearing. My follow up is in 1 week. I’ll get the stitches out and hopefully i can weight bear then. Although they told me they want me off of it for 4 weeks it feels great right now
I got this on a motorcycle too. Was stationary, waiting to turn right when a van failed to see me right in front of him broadside on, and went into the side of me and crushed my ankle. I guess I was lucky, considering. But I used to run and am worried it will change my life forever. It happened 2/5/13. I had this surgery 9/5/13.
I broke my ankle 6 weeks ago....the last demonstration is basically everything I damaged and how it was repaired (Trimalleolar fracture with Syndesmotic injury), only difference is I have 2 screws for the Syndesmotic injury and they will be removed within a couple of months. From fracturing my ankle until surgery took 2 weeks, as my foot and ankle were so swollen....I ended up bruised from my toes to almost my knee.
69aussieguy U had your screws taken out I still have mine.l only seen one screw in mine.Did feel like u broke it all over again when they took the screws out?
Angie, I think it depends on where you live as to if they remove the screw/s or not. Because I was always going to get the screws removed, they put 2 in. Where as, I was told if I lived in the USA I'd probably only get 1 as they would rather it breaks than spend the time and effort to remove it.....once it breaks there's no removing it. As for how it felt, at first the inside of my ankle hurt more than the outside (I think this is because the screw has groves in the tip and the bone heals into them, so a little bit of bone breaks away). I had a small incision on the outer side but it healed quickly. After a couple of weeks everything felt as good as before the screws were removed, so no, it didn't feel like it was broken all over again.
I had my surgery 1.5month back and it was a trimalleolar fracture the only difference is my doc didny inserted any screws in posterior malleolar fracture apart from that everything is same like this and my ankle is very badly swollen its the swelling is not reducing am blank idk how to reduce it and my ankle is jammed i cant freely move it idk whats wrong
Iv had a double ankle fracture last week, the doc says it will take 4weeks no weight on it in a cast, then another two weeks in a weight bearing cast with a boot, is it safe to presume i can go back to a normal life after this period or will i need physiotherapy etc? can i ask them to take the cast off & it get treated with an ankle fracture boot? thanks for your help, great video
I just realized my fears are real…I received today the results of my 6 x-rays taken on Friday 11.8.24 and according to that I have fractured the tip of my medial malloleus…hate the name sounds like an STD…looks like I’m gonna need another surgery…just had my accessory navicular removed in 5/30/23…that was hell…I still haven’t talk to a podiatrist yet because my PCP just referred me to one…I’m sure im not the only one going through this so feel free to ask me about my progress and I’ll make sure I’ll update this post, today is 11.13.24…I’m Mexican so I guess I danced a bit too hard celebratin’ mean Orange man victory..with too much tequila
@ much better now. No surgery was needed as the fracture was a hairline fracture so I have a brace and a boot for 45 days and I’m back on the knee scooter. Doc said no weight at all on this foot for 45 days and then more time with the boot. Thanks for asking
Salam Doctor Nabil Ebraheim, can I please use this vidéo to explain it to my promotion, and can you please tell me how this did you work this animated video or from where did you get it . THANK YOU SIR .
Very educational video, I have had a left ankle ORIF, (10 screws in total including a very large one holding everything in place) due to a severely dislocated ankle and broken fibula, I have had my stitches out and cast on for 6 weeks today and due to get cast off in 7 days time. How much longer would you imagine I will be in a moon boot for before I am able to walk freely with out the support of the moon boot. I am 20 years old and very fit.
i sprained/fractured my ankle on January 1st playing basketball. It has not healed yet. I was not put in a cast, only given a walking boot and my doctor did not mention surgery. Is surgery necessary to fix a fractured ankle?
I broken my ankle September 2020 I had 5 surgeries. Just have my last one March 2022, I’m Telling you I went to hell the worst two years of my life. As today I’m just starting physical therapy and just receive my bone stimulator machine. And just learning how to walk all over again and to drive.
I’m so sorry for that. Wishing you a quick recovery. I broke all the 3 bones of my ankle 5 weeks ago and had my surgery 3 weeks ago. Just hanging in here to see how my recovery goes!
I have a similar hardware except no syndesmosis injury even though I had dislocated it. I broke all three places you see in the video as well as the talus was broken in two. There was a small screw for that too. In all, a plate and 8 screws. My fibula was broken almost at my knee, all the way down to the ankle where it was also broken and separated. Don’t expect things to be mostly normal for at least 1 year.

Is there any way to go around the surgery part? Maybe no surgery just cast for an extended period of time???
for the fixation of syndesmosis, which kind of screw is better: lag screw or full threaded screw
I have a similar hardware except no syndesmosis injury even though I had dislocated it. I broke all three places you see in the video as well as the talus was broken in two. There was a small screw for that too. In all, a plate and 8 screws. My fibula was broken almost at my knee, all the way down to the ankle where it was also broken and separated.
